It is meant to be thrown out and retrieved with little technique, which suits anglers who want a simple lure for sea bass, flounder, mackerel and yellowtail. This UV Silver version is a light option for shore casting.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
